I’m trying desperately not to be a liar yet again, but as midnight is swiftly approaching much like a booted foot to an unsuspecting (though assuredly deserving) butt, I will post what I have thus far. I fully intend to continue updating through out the night until either the story finishes or I pass out at the keyboard and my poor, wonderful husband has to drag my lifeless (snoring) body off to bed, or at the very least over to the couch. Oh, also posting the excerpt from my current –and currently unnamed– word baby. Happy All Hallow’s Read, folks!

Speaking of babies– My friend had one today! Just in case you were disappointed by this small, shabby gift that I didn’t even bother to even try to wrap in newspaper, at least you can know that someone got something good today. Let’s all be happy for the proud new mama and papa! Happy adventuring, guys!

Update: So about an hour after I got to work adding more to “Beasts” I crashed hard. I don’t even remember going to bed, really, but that’s where I woke up. I will continue writing the story all the same. Husband says to think of it as a serialized piece. I’m grumpy about it, but it is what it is. Bah. Anyway, happy reading and much love, guys! (There are suddenly more of you! Hello!)
